There's also some discussion on the new Jack Box, Norris accounts for his kitchen nightmares in Overcooked 2, Char's a cop, and David thinks everyone should play Mario Party. We also have some thoughts on Diablo Im ...…

We learn some new things about beer, about "footie", and about how nothing can ever stay the same on this very special episode of Super Hopped Up. Special guest and friend of the podcast Paddy teaches us how drinking in the UK is way cooler than in Canada, Norris describes his harrowing experience trying to buy a video game, Steph invents the b ...…

It's not gross, honestly. It's a medical term. Everyone learns some new words this week. We decide that the Chosen Undead is a comrade while The Doom Guy is pure libertarian. We imagine what a remake of The Thing starring only Seth Rogen would look like. And we really dig into Dave's growing salt pile. All this and more on a podcast about video ...…

Full house this week. Full of thoughts from our sIcK, dEpRaVeD minds. We've got your celebrity gossip, a deep dive into the mind of a man (Matt) on the edge, and Norris' experience helping people LARP the Model UN over the past weekend. Mike's got some Final Fantasy Feelings, Steph remains addicted to Persona 5, and Dave's band of plucky teens ...…

It's 100% anime and horror movies this week. We go over all the anime RPGs we've been playing of late, and detail our favourite scary things in preparation for the holiday. Steph discusses the pros and cons of blackmailing her homeroom teacher into a relationship, Dave really hopes his Division officer eats a sniper's bullet, and Norris doesn't ...…

We're downright malty this week, and get pretty free-form about it. On this week we focus on self-improvement: Kelly and Dave self-improving their Soul Calibur beta skills, Norris' self-improving his knife-selling abilities, and Matt self-improving by not watching bad Marvel films. Also hey we've got a lot of cool video stuff going up this mont ...…

Who knows what they could be hatching up there. PLOTS. SCHEMES. Matt's back this week to regale us of stories from the land of the Rising Sun. Did you know they had giant robots? And suicidal legumes? Steph starts the long hard road to deciding her waifu. Norris hates FF15 almost as much as he hates the fact that he's definitely going to finish ...…

It's so hard not to, though. This week, there's a comparison between World of Warcraft and Fyrefest, an exposé into the illicit world of Puff Puff, and some further feelings about being all that a Spider can. Also, lists on lists on lists! Do you like people rattling off the names of video games? Then do we have a news segment for you! Hosts: C ...…

It's been a long time coming. This week the gang dishes out on Spider-Man and Dragon's Quest 11. I don't want to spoil anything but they might be pretty good. A new segment is also introduced this week, in which the gang rationally and calmly discusses people and topics from the last week that bears some sober analysis. We're calling it the bul ...…

There are specific moves you need to do right, or you just look silly. This week we all agree that video games shouldn't be in the Olympics. We also agree that gamers shouldn't be allowed outside. We agree on a lot of things. We answer a bunch of questions from the Discord, agree that Henry Cavill is a fuck-boi, and discuss the recent controver ...…

It wasn't even a fair question. This week your favourite husbandos debate the finer points of weed vaping, Overwatch free weekends, and the best Dead Cells builds. We declare that every character in Soul Calibur is very normal, and discuss Nintendo's latest indie releases. Kelly has opinions about cartoon women; Norris also has opinions on cart ...…

This week, Dave tries to teach us what mumble rap is, Norris tries to teach us that everyone has the same genitalia, Kelly tries to explain the racial theory of World of Warcraft, and Steph regrets becoming the newest member of the team. Hosts: Chris Norris-Jones, Kelly Wright, Steph Fan, David Beebe Beer of the Week: Kirin Ichiban Music by Seb ...…

There's a full roundtable this week, as we all attempt to summon some dark elder god from the vaguely-racist-sounding dark realm. Holey Moley we talking *games* this week! With Kelly and Mike trying to kill the rest of the team with details on the World of Warcraft expansion, Char laments the loss of Kelly to aforementioned World of Warcraft, a ...…

Live from the heat of Vegas, it's the full extended SHU Crew! While we are live from our hotel room during the height of EVO 2018, we decided to crowd around a single room microphone and record our feelings about the tournament, detail how our competitors did, and give some general feelings about how Las Vegas is just too damn hot. Also discuss ...…

There's a moment in this episode where it kind of gets away from us, and I'd like to say we brought it back but that's just not true. This week, Dave honestly weighs his Vegas odds, Kelly is worried about the Night Elves, Norris converts to fast rolling, and Matt has some pointed questions about everyone maintaining their essences. Hosts: Norri ...…

The gang gets into a heated argument about the sexiest mythological creatures, before opening up the erotic DnD handbook and then soon after regretting opening up the erotic DnD handbook. Also this week, we go into Matt's Movie Corner to see his latest picks and flicks, Norris wants everyone to play Prey, Kelly wants everyone to play World of W ...…

There's no video game news. There's no new video games we've played. There's nothing left but us trying to decide what's worse between cops and Yelp reviewers. Also this week Mike and Kelly wants to build a WoW army, Dave wants to lose at Evo, and Norris still misses his anime friends. Hosts: Norris, David, Kelly, Mike Beer of the Week: Vancouv ...…

Magic is in the heart of the cards this week as the gang argues Digimon vs Yugioh, Mike is informed why living a hundred years ago would suck, and we all then turn our chairs around, sit in them backwards, and have a "rap session" about society. Matt teaches an XCOM class, Mike beat a boss, Dave is going 0-6 at EVO, and Norris misses his anime ...…

We don't even really talk about it during the podcast but Kelly doesn't like the movie Aliens and I'm using this entire episode description to shame him for it. Hosts: Norris, David, Matt, Kelly Beer of the Week: Coal Harbour Brewing's Blabber Mouth Dryhopped Lager Music by Sebastian Bender

We start this episode with Mike trying to get out of his wifely Zelda duties, in a conversation that makes sense to us but probably nobody else. This week it's all about beers that kind of sound like genitalia, fun facts about eastern European nations, and an after-action report from our XCOM generals in the fight against alien bastards. Hosts: ...…

I think we've decided vapes are cool now, folks. This week the guys try and fail to figure out how much money they've spent on Steam, try to find out if apples have gluten in them, and give some final thoughts on E3. Hosts: Norris, David, Mike Cider of the Week: Picker's Hut Premium Handcrafted Cider Music by Sebastian Bender…

Hey. It's E3 week. Did you hear about the games. Hosts: Norris, David, Mike, Matt Beer of the Week: A bunch of Unlabeled Beers Music by Sebastian Bender

The gang gets together and discusses their various E3 beliefs and rumours. And by that, I of course mean they discuss which video game character is most likely secretly addicted to blow. It's not who you think! Everyone discusses how excited they are about all the battle royale games that are gonna get announced next week, Norris got hacked, Ke ...…

Norris is sick, almost everyone else is off playing fight games, we have no beer, just a random assortment of found liquor in the fridge; morale remains high. This week Kelly and Norris discuss David Cage's feelings about Androids, Norris details his tentative first steps into his Dark, Dark Souls, and discuss what they're going to do when they ...…

Welcome to the Joint Operations Task Force soldier. You ready to get higher than you've ever gone? This week, Norris wants a new aesthetic, Dave plays Dragon's Crown for the articles, and Mike's too old for music festivals. Everyone gushes about God of War for a while (SPOILERS FROM 33:50 to 39:00), all the characters in Norris' Persona 5 game ...…

Topics this week: We're not cool anymore, Matt hates all animals, Dave wants Milla Jovovich in a Mega Man costume. Also Matt loves his Lancer and the divine right of space kings, and we all determine the etymology of the world "Milf". Drink of the Week: American Vintage Hard Green Iced Tea Hosts: Chris Norris-Jones, David Beebe, Kelly Wright, C ...…

If somehow you're someone who cares about Avengers spoilers but haven't seen the film, well, whatever listen to this podcast anyways. Spoilers are good for you, and life is cruel. It's all about that recent movie where the Muppet Babies fought Space Grimace. I'm just glad to finally see a film that's endorsing men who wear jewelry. Beer of the ...…

Bar drunk or casino lizard: who would win in a fight!? This week the topic starts with whether or not it's socially acceptable at 30 to drink 2 litres of Grower's Peach Cider, which transitions nicely into our spoiler-free feelings about the new Avenger's film. We argue which member of the Avengers is the most doable, everyone agrees that Krato ...…

Kelly's a tired boy this week, so we try to determine the best video game drug to wake his ass up. He also impresses us with his deep knowledge of the German language. Matt wants to invent a machine to play video games for him, and also tell us about a good time he had once on a submarine. Norris wants us all to know about Ready Player One, and ...…

Five people enter in a room, ready to do battle with the Verhoeven himself. But, how many will leave unscathed? It's that time of year, y'all, Verhoevenia! Hug your giant cop daddies and your uncomfortably angry dancer friends, kiss your bug buddies and odd-boobed martians, because we're sitting by the screen and watching the very best films of ...…

We're angry about data this week. Don't tread on my data, big gubment. My deviant internet searches are between me and my living God. This week Kelly manages to once again self-own himself with the beer, groundwork is set down for the upcoming Verhoevenia, everyone argues whether or not we should go see Ready Player One, and Mike admits Dragon ...…

Now you look like a shrewd and capable investor! Howzabout you step right up and take a gander at these-here dollary-digits! The latest and greatest cryptocurrency! Get in on it now before you research what cryptocurrency actually is and realize it's kind of a scam! Internet money! Plug into the money! This week the gang reminisces about very s ...…

The team takes a strong stance on the wizarding world this week. I don't know how we started arguing about stupid Harry Potter nonsense but it went far longer than reasonable. This week we celebrate Dave tipping over the odometer by explaining to him the concept of "second puberty." In turn Dave lets us know about his finding "A Way Out" in a n ...…

It's argument ad absurdum over here, as the boys pretend they know what fallacies are. Which, logically goes right into a twenty minute discussion about how Goku has the CTE from repeated blows to the head. There's some further talk about Drake's plan for Fortnite, how Geralt's soul is still burning, and that the makers of Inside are getting in ...…

It's about straight-edge, God fearin' music this week, as we try to figure out what kind of concert people could go to without the haunting spectre of Mary Jane following them at every turn. Kelly also reveals his crippling ginger phobia, Mike mistakenly brings up Bloodborne leading to an endless argument on Dark Souls lore, Dave is still train ...…

Well folks, it's been a busy week. We've got to get through that Nintendo Direct, that whole video game violence VS government meeting, as well as a slew of other big announcements. So of course we spend 50 or so minutes talking about shitty alt-right Psychologists, local breweries, hot pot, and our plans on going to Vegas baby. We do talk some ...…

Super Hopped-Up cares about history, especially factual retellings of history. Which is why we need to be honest about the utter irrelevance of Australia. We got some historical fun facts this week, followed by a thorough deconstruction of the latest teetering block in Marvel's Jenga tower: Black Panther. Norris wants to discuss conflict vibran ...…

House bands are a menace, and the team decides they need to be stopped this week. We learn this week about the wonderful world of citrus fruits, and that kumquat is even more fun to say than it is to taste. Norris and Mike also reminisce to when they had no jobs or life and spent their time playing video games in Norris's parents' unheated base ...…

There's been an invasion from the eastern border, as ill-mannered Albertans take over our beautiful, innocent podcast and fill it full of Pizzagate references. This week we joined up with some podcasting brothers-in-arms, Keifer and Chris from The Alberta Podcast. They've come to regale us with tales of Cybermania 94, Lorn Lanning, and true-to- ...…

They're like the regular kind but they've got steam shooting out. This week Mike learns that he needs Dragon Ball to feel anything, Kelly wants you to know he looks pretty wearing the skin of a murdered creature, and Matt has some hard talk aimed at those puppies who kneeled during the Puppybowl. We also end up getting into a protracted discuss ...…

This week the gang discuss their lucrative future career - being proxy bodies for the wealthy elite. We also decide that beer collaborations are beat, and the future lies in beer beefs. Mike and Dave continue their habit of probably getting Dragon Ball stuff completely wrong, while Norris determines if cats are evil or merely misinformed. Hosts ...…

Dont worry everyone, we survived the tsunami. With no small assistance from Professor Seismograph. This week, we lament the loss of male role models, but we celebrate our new heroes the internet speed runners. We swap Bubsy stories, skin-stealing stories, hentai stories, and stories of the creation of civilizations. Lots of stories. Kelly also ...…

It's MAD MONEY HOUR this week on Super Hopped-Up. Bitcoin! Yah hearda it!? BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY. We're gonna all be rich!

Dave and Mike have never seen a power level they didn't like, and they're willing to tal ...…

Oh cool a bunch of dudes are gonna talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi on the internet. Turns out? They got some 'pinions. This week, the 5-year sting operation on Matt finally succeeds. Don't worry he's going to prison now, we got him. Also it's mostly about Star Wars this week, so if you haven't seen the latest whizz-bang then prepare to be e ...…

The Deep State tries to stop us from drinking this week but we remain too potent to stop. It's 2018! Time for thrills, chills, and spills, and an opportunity to wipe clean the slate! As such, we haven't done a damn thing this last week that wasn't drinking, so we turn our gazes forward and discuss our hopes and dreams for 2018. From our resolut ...…

With this being the week after our Metal Gear Marathon, and none of us technically dying in the process, we thought this follow-up week would be a good time to give our high and low-lights of the marathon. Also discussed, the seemingly seedy underbelly hiding in Stardew Valley, and a frank discussion on Orc culture. Hosts: Chris Norris-Jones, M ...…

*Hey y'all, sorry if you get this podcast via RSS, and it's late. We had a really great name for the episode, but it might have been too hot for our host and I think it got taken down. Whoops! Don't worry if you listen you'll be able to figure out what the original title was.* This week, most of the gang admits that they don't know how to drive ...…

To start this week off, we discuss the Do's and Don'ts of morning wakeup strategies. Turns out everyone does it differently. We also discuss lame things to heist, Matt describe's his new favourite TV show as "The Wire with cum", and Mike thinks Charlie Hebdo shouldn't make fan updates of Crusader Kings 2.
